About Mrs. Spring Roll

As you may recall, I had amazing guests and games at my bridal shower this past weekend. However, I didn’t tell you about the other two G’s: grub and gifts!

For as long as I can remember, sister Spring Roll and I have loved to bake and cook. We even took a cooking class together in high school. How does that relate to my shower, you ask? Well, we spent the night before and the morning of my bridal shower in the kitchen. Gladly so, as the guests really enjoyed the food.

We made my favorite truffles, of course.

And a few new goodies too, like fruit salsa and cinnamon chips.

My guests spoiled me with oodles of gifts, mainly of the kitchen type. Cookbooks, a George Foreman Grill, a hand mixer (for non-KitchenAid mixing), an electric can opener, and a food dehydrator, just to name a few. There were also some non-kitchen gifts, such as a Hello Kitty bag (two, actually), heating blankets, and a bathroom set. I love all of my gifts and can’t wait to use them.

On a side note, either mom SR is not so good at photography, or I’m a terrible model. Most of the photos turned out like this:

I love that you got TWO Hello Kitty bags! Did you see the article in the New York Times today about the rivalry b/t Hello Kitty and Barbie?

What a great shower!

MMMMMMM..those truffles! The fruit salsa does look incredibly yummy too! What a food fest!

I can’t believe those truffles were homemade! They look so decadent!

By the way, Miss SR, you were all aglow at your shower! Congrats!

that fruit salsa and cinnamon chips looks soooo good!! I pretty much look like that in all my pictures too, but somehow I almost always have my head tilted back so I look weird…gotta practice my posing for the wedding!

Yummy truffles!!

And speaking of showers, here’s a general question for everyone. Do guests typically give gifts from your registry?? Or do they give whatever they please? I’m trying to figure out when I should have my registry done by!! My fiance put a condition on the registry: we’ve gotta hire all the vendors for the wedding before I can grab a registry gun!! :o(

Mmmm truffles *drool*, that fruit salsa looks yummy too!

@ DrDazey: I only give gifts from registries for the shower… or if I find fantastic basics (ie- white towels) which the couple hasn’t registered, I do buy & gift those too… I give cash-money for wedding gifts so it’s nice to buy something couples want for the shower :)
